QEMU ARM EMULATOR SERIES

Since last weekвЂ™s post, I got the iOS 12 beta 4 kernel to fully boot in QEMU, and even got it to run launchd and start recoveryd from the restore ramdisk. Since I donвЂ™t have 9 years to build a perfect simulation of an iPhone, I decided to go for a less lofty goal: getting enough of iOS emulated until launchd, the first program to run when iOS boots, is able to start. I was inspired by Corellium, a service which can boot any iOS in a virtual machine. IвЂ™ve been interested in how iOS starts, so IвЂ™ve been trying to boot the iOS kernel in QEMU. If you want to run iOS, you should ask instead, or just buy an iPhone.

This is Part 2 of a series on the iOS boot process. HereвЂ™s what I learned, and how you can try this yourself. I got launchd and recoveryd to start on an emulated iPhone running iOS 12 beta 4вЂ™s kernel using a modified QEMU.
